Correction - that's from North Carolina State University, not the University of North Carolina. There's a significant difference between the two.

You'd have to strap me into a Poetry Appreciation Chair to make me watch that crap again, thanks.

I would personally prefer to send folks like that on a two-week vacation to Hong Kong, where they will stay in a guesthouse populated entirely (otherwise) by Africans and be forbidden to eat in any place in which they can read the menu.

Color me silly, but where are these Amazon rankings to be found? They sound like mountains of fun.

I am rather uncomfortable with the idea that one should have total control over the impressions that one's ideas give, in any form.
Posted on entry New model patent crank ::: November 17, 2005, 10:48 AM:
And they’re grotesquely understaffed and -funded.

The patent office is in no way underfunded. It is one of the few profitable federal agencies- and by law it gets to keep the money it makes.

Part of the problems with patents arise from the fact that the patent office gains no fee from a rejected patent. It is indeed a case where the office assumes that the courts will handle it down the line. It is a poisonous atmosphere for real innovation.

I'm still kind of shocked that the MMO companies themselves haven't gotten in on the action by producing character "packages" which customers who want to start strong out of the gate can buy.

Now that you mention it....

UO's advanced characters are only so good, but an experienced powergamer can turn a bought character into a full-powered one in a few hours. The tamer is most notable as a good deal- taming is highly irritating, and a couple pieces of cheap jewelry can turn the purchased tamer into a full-fledged one.
